How to Live Longer, Healthier & More Fully Like the Blue ZonesIn Blue Zones, people live long, healthy lives due to a combination of genetics, daily movement, social connection, and a focus on healthy diets. However, in today’s world, longevity requires a more proactive approach. The challenges we face today—exposure to environmental toxins, stress, and processed foods—are vastly different from those in past generations. At Monarch, we focus on brain health, detoxification, and preventative care to ensure longevity in a world that’s rapidly changing.
Having spent my 30-year history in Sun Valley, I’ve witnessed firsthand how the environment impacts our well-being. The clean air and access to the outdoors are a huge advantage, but the truth is, the world around us is more toxic than ever before. Heavy metals, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides are increasingly found in our air, food, and water—posing a unique challenge to our health. The statistics are staggering: According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), over 90% of U.S. water supplies contain traces of pharmaceuticals and pesticides, contributing to the rise of chronic diseases. Performance EnhancementPerformance isn’t just about pushing yourself in the gym or on the field—it’s about consistent movement, effective recovery, and long-term vitality. In Blue Zones, people maintain exceptional physical strength and endurance into their later years thanks to a focus on natural movement and consistent, low-impact activities. At Monarch, we’ve integrated these ancient practices with the latest in performance-enhancing technology to help you maximize your potential, whether you're training for a marathon or simply aiming for more energy throughout your day.
Having spent my 30-year history in Sun Valley, where I moved back to raise my family after spending my tween years here, I’ve witnessed firsthand how movement isn’t just a fitness goal—it’s a way of life. My parents, now in their 80s, moved here for the access to the outdoors and the ability to stay active. They’re a testament to the power of movement—not through intense training, but through consistent daily activities like hiking, skiing, and cycling. These natural habits, much like those in Blue Zones, are what keep them physically strong and mentally sharp. Aesthetics & DetoxAt Monarch, we believe that aesthetic wellness is about more than just external appearance. When we look good, we feel good—and our skin, hair, and physique are often the first indicators of imbalances in the body. This is why we take a holistic approach to beauty, supporting our clients through detox, recovery, and nutrient absorption for glowing, youthful skin and a rejuvenated body. Having spent my 30-year history here in Sun Valley, I’ve seen firsthand the incredible effects the lifestyle has on our appearance. The fresh mountain air, abundant outdoor activity, and focus on healthy living contribute to radiant skin and a strong physique. But beyond just natural beauty, we know that detoxing the body is a critical first step for maintaining youthful skin. It’s something that ancient medicines understood well—they used the skin and eyes as diagnostic tools to identify deeper health concerns. At Monarch, we believe in the same principle: healthy, clear skin is often a reflection of an internally healthy body. If you haven’t met me yet, here’s something you should know: as a yoga teacher with a focus on athletes, no one comes in or out of my class without me taking a serious look at their feet. "Show me your arches! Flex, b*tches, flex!" has been my mantra for years. I’ve always said that without strong arches, you’ll never find your balance—whether on a board or in bed. Almost 20 years later, I still stand by it, though now I’ve expanded my philosophy. Lucky for you, from head to toe, we need proper alignment to sleep comfortably, move gracefully, and—let’s be real—live pain-free. Yes, please! And let’s not forget, the head to this toe story is the atlas bone adjustment. I’ll have plenty more to say on that when you come see me, but trust me, it’s all connected. So, of course, at Monarch, we know that optimal movement starts with a solid foundation—and there’s no better place to begin than with your feet. Our feet are the base of every step, every jump, and every stride we take. Yet, they’re often the most neglected part of our bodies. By focusing on activating the muscles and physiology of our feet, we can build strength, stability, and alignment that support not just our foundation, but our overall performance. Today, I’m sharing a simple yet powerful how-to for foot activation. This foundational practice can be seamlessly integrated into your daily routine, improving balance, movement efficiency, and proprioception. The best part? It only takes 5-15 minutes a day, but these small efforts create a ripple effect through your entire body. What starts with foot activation leads to better posture, enhanced movement, and ultimately, pain-free living. Let’s dive into the details that will help you connect to your body in a way that makes every step feel more intentional. How To: Foot Activation Basics

Heat: The Ancient Healer (+ Your Secret Weapon for Skin Health)There’s no denying it—heat has been a healer for millennia. From ancient sweat lodges to the saunas of Finland, humans have instinctively used heat to purify, cleanse, and regenerate. But it’s not just tradition—it’s science. Infrared heat penetrates deep into the body, reaching beneath the surface to stimulate circulation, boost cellular repair, and detoxify. Dr. Rhonda Patrick and Huberman Lab have both highlighted the profound benefits of sauna use, including improved cardiovascular health and detoxification, especially in relation to infrared's ability to increase heat shock proteins, which play a key role in cellular protection and repair. But for me, it’s more than that. I could talk about the stats all day (and believe me, I will), but the truth is, the real shift happens when you experience it yourself. It is what it is—and what it is, is transformative. |
